hi XDA as I decided that I want to do some badass stuff with my SK17, I'm looking for an apps to make a backup of my stuff, namely SMS and MMS messages and the apps I installed. I don't have root yet, so I thought it might be a little tricky.
regarding messages: I've looked on several SMS backup apps from the Play Store, but I read in description that they don't support MMS messages yet. then I found Txtract, which does, but sadly I can't see an "import" option in it.
regarding apps: I've already found FileExpert which can make backups of .apk files, but is there an app to also save the data related to the game (downloaded SD stuff, game progress, settings etc.)?

For apps titanium backup would be best, but without root, i dont know if it will save the data. Did you look into my backup pro, or even just for the msgs sms backup & restore?
Cheers,

"Please note that this app does not support MMS (Picture/Audio/Video) messages." - SMS Backup & Restore.
I was reading on some forums that My Backup Pro doesn't export and import MMS messages, but I guess it was about some other version. thanks, I'll try it

I think it is because it give you the option to backup to their servers, but you need to be connected to sign up for it haha a little stupid I agree but yeah thats my best guess.

Hi guys
does anyone know some kind of program that would export SMS and MMS to excel format?
Do you want the header data or ALL data? In other words do you want the Who, Date/Time, and the contents of the text, or do you just want the Who/date/time info.
who/date/time/sms or mms
Ok so not terribly concerned with the contents of the text just that one was sent/received and if it was sms/mms right....
Let me do some looking/thinking...
I hope you know some useful software .
Not sure if direct linking is allowed so just fix the spaces I entered below or do a market search for any kind of sms/mms backup. I listed a couple I have used or know of.
SMS Backup +
sms backup & restore
I've not looked at this one but try it it looks like it will do exactly what you want..
w w w.androidzoom. com/android_applications/tools/excel-backup_muxu_download.html
I have used this one and did not even know you could read the backup data in excel.. WOW Learned something new!
h t t p s://market.android. com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
I am looking into my gmail account to see if the data backed up to it can be exported/imported to excel format since I have 3+ years worth of texts stored there form the backup programs. If we could run the program and then simply take the data directly from our gmail label that would be nice.
Ye i was thinking about excel backup too but i couldn't find it for free anywhere :/.
So no one know of one program that can save mms and sms threads?
What a **** os. Even Nokia has this omg.

This, never failed me.
Doesn't backup pictures though, its a little annoying if your convo is about a picture and you can't see it.

SMS Backup+
integrates with GMAIL...backs up MMS to GMAIL, and you can use Tasker with it....
i have tasker set to perform an automatic backup of the latest messages every time i exit the messaging app.....
its beautiful. all my SMS/MMS are filed away nice and neat in my GMAIL for use later.....
I use Handcent, which has an integrated backup.
I used to use SMSBackup+, until it became cumbersome to backup 2000+ text messages online via EDGE (unfortunately I don't have 3g/"4g" or wifi most of the time. Then I remembered that I once invested in MyBackup Pro (~$5, I think). It backs up apps, data, photos, texts, and just about everything else. It gives the option to backup online or on your SD card. It works pretty well in my experience.
But if you have good wifi/data connection, SMSBackup+ is a great option as well.

Yea I haven't got around doing it that way, but I would love a way to restore it back in the convo.
I have 2 main backups which still has it in case I ever find a way.

I have 10k+ messages, cause I kept a couple thousand I brought from my old phone. So uploading all that is a little annoying, but I shall do it eventually.
I use both of Ritesh Sahu's backup apps (Call Logs and SMS) - they're great. Backup to gmail is nice, other than the time it takes.

If you do it as they come in or set it to run at night during off time on wifi it doesn't take long. Smsbackup+ will also backup call logs. I have mine putting them on my Google calendar to keep track of my customer calls.

I use GoSMS Pro for my sms messaging and found that it has a pretty good backup and restore function in it. You can schedule a backup for every day if you like also.
I just use Titanium. Works fine, it's just difficult to tell which backup file specifically holds the SMS data -- just filter for SMS and do a restore.
Hey folks.
I recently discovered a great app named "SMS Backup & Restore" which I now happen to be the owner of the PRO version. Things is, that the backup works fine, but upon restoring, messages seem to get restore the wrong order - most of the messages are in the same thread, but completely mixed up. And I don't miss a few, I miss a lot.
The FAQ of the developer says that osme SMS cannot be backed up nor restored since it currently does not support MMS messages. But I'm extremely sure that most messages are just SMS. Did such happen to any of you, too? How to resolve this? And could that be dou to the use of GoSMS Pro which I use as my phone messaging app?
Any help is very much appreciated.

That is the only app I use for sms backup & restore since I have android phone. Never had any problems, except when on restore, threads (not messages) are not sorted in order in which I backed them up. Ofc, I just sort them by "most recent" in messages app. I used Handcent sometimes, but never had problems with dissapearing messages. Backup app and messaging app use xml, which is stored on phone, so I don't think it matters which one messaging app you use.

Thanks for helping, PROleev. Is there a way to clean up the XML-File I have? It contains multiple messages and upon restoring, it does not delete the duplicates although I enabled the option in the program. Furthermore, it seems that it saved messages with the completely wrong time. Therefore, restoring the messages results in a mess I don't know how to resolve.. except for to delete everything.

You're welcome.
Here is the app for duplicate messages, and it should help you (I didn't try it, but users say that it does its job). It is slow if you have a couple of thousands messages. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10377014&postcount=1
I have to make a correction..mesagge applications read from data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db (database file), but they save messages as .xml which you can open in any xml viewer or MS Excel..

I'm just wondering if there's anything that will sync my texts in the same way my contacts are synced, meaning that I wouldn't have to back up and restore every time I switch between backups of different roms (as long as the app is installed on both roms). This would be a really nice feature and I'm surprised google doesn't already offer it.

Not sure about the native app, but the paid version of handcent sms allows backup to their servers (prem ver)
As a side you could use something like SMS backup pro then link that to a google drive or drop box
Handcent paid version. Good stuff.

SMS Backup Does & creates a label for SMS & calls. Even saves MMS attachments. I've used it for a couple years & nothing compares.

True! Using it for last 2 years and never lost any sms.
Hi guys
I'm looking around for a textmessage app that allows me to send/recieve texts (like the default app) but also allows me to backup and store (maybe online) my messages.
For example:
If I would buy a new phone, I just needed to redownload the app and restore my texts.
Is something like this available in the Play Store or not?
I've looked around but the only things I could find were textmessage apps with some added fuctionality (fancy design and emoji-stuff), so not really the thing I'm looking for.
Thanks!
